奥巴马就职典礼群星闪耀

    Beyonce and Jay-Z attended United States President Barack Obama’s inauguration* at the Capitol* for his second term in office on Monday.

    James Taylor kicked off the musical performances, singing “America the Beautiful.” Kelly Clarkson followed with a different arrangement of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.” Then Beyonce was introduced and the crowd roared its approval.

    Katy Perry and John Mayer sat side-by-side, and singer-songwriter Ke$ha was there, too.

    People flocked to the colorful pop stars, snapping photos. And Perry did the same, taking shots of “Girls” actress and daughter of news anchor Brian Williams, Allison Williams.

    Actress Eva Longoria was seated on the platform outside the Capitol after making an appearance at a Kennedy Center performance on Sunday night. Former Boston Celtics great Bill Russell was in the crowd, too, along with actor Marlon Wayans.
